The eighth grade students of St.
Ambrose School
spent a day outside of the classroom engaged in highly energizing community
building activities and prayerful reflection at Camp
Cheerful in Strongsville.
In addition to several team building activities such as building high rise
towers out of balloons and low ropes challenges, students participated in the
camp's popular high ropes challenge course. The students worked together to
hoist each other up the 50-foot tower and cheered each other on as they were
dropped into the air in the giant swing! It was a memorable day that the
students say they won't soon forget.

Little did they know

Brunswick
graduate and actor/theater owner, Patrick Ciamacco must have had a premonition
as he and his cohorts in The Laughter League did an amazing video about the
Cleveland Browns – way before the Trent Richardson news. It's a hysterical take
on music from LeMiserables. Other Brunswick
actors in the video, who are all members of the comedy group include Joe
Kenderes, Joe Ciamacco, Luke Scattergood and Chuck Klein. Click on the link to see it on
YouTube.

Big Blue

The Brunswick Marching Blue Devils season is in full swing
now, and it's going to be another amazing year of local, regional, and national
competitions as well as half-time performances. These talented young musicians
have dedicated themselves to learning how to step quickly from one formation to
another, while skillfully playing challenging pieces of music. Under the
direction of Mr. Jay Wardeska, they have created an exciting competition show
for 2013, and a variety of entertaining half-time performances for the
community.
The Marching Blue Devils will take their competition show to Louisville,
Toledo, and Norton this year. They
will host the 31st annual Sound Spectacular marching band competition at Brunswick
High School on Oct. 26, as well as
the Ohio Music Education Association State Marching Band Finals on Nov. 8 and
9. The Marching Blue Devils will wrap up their season by competing in the Bands
of America National Championships in Indianapolis
this November.

To support to these hardworking students, the community is invited to a "Wing
Night" hosted by the Brunswick Band Parents Organization on from 4-7 p.m. Oct. 20, at Sidelines Sports Bar, 1165

Great news

Brunswick Alumnus and professional auctioneer, Dennis
Eberhart has had his story, "And the Two Were Made One," accepted in this
year's "Christmas in My Heart-11" co-published by Review and Herald and
Tyndale/Focus on the Family. The book is due out soon. If you stopped at
Mapleside's History Fest two weeks ago, it was Dennis who portrayed Ephraim
Lindley. What's ironic is that we asked Dennis to play Ephraim before we knew
he was also a writer and poet because Lindley was known as "the poet of Brunswick." Hmmmm. Must be fate.
